We welcome Dr. Yunus to Bangladesh politics. He is a man of vision, integrity and commitment. He is the leader of new generation with knowledge of modern technology and innovative ideas.
He is capable changing the present political culture and develop a new Bangladesh.
This journey of him will be less troublesome than his journey in microcredit from Jobra village to Nobel Prize.
Hope that people from their localities will able to choose 300 capable candidates for the next election.
